Smooth Your Skin with Subcision

Subcision is a minimally invasive treatment designed to improve the appearance of acne scars and cellulite. This procedure targets underlying scar tissue, releasing it to allow smoother skin to form. Ideal for both facial and body concerns, subcision delivers long-lasting results with minimal downtime.

What Is Subcision?

Subcision is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat deep acne scars and skin dimpling caused by cellulite. The treatment involves using a fine, specially designed needle to break the fibrous bands beneath the skin that pull it down and create indentations. Once these bands are released, the skin can rise naturally, resulting in a smoother and more even surface. In addition to the immediate improvement, subcision also stimulates collagen production over time, which helps to further refine the treated areas. For optimal results, subcision is often combined with complementary treatments like fillers or laser therapy to enhance skin rejuvenation.

How Does Subcision Work for Face & Body?

Subcision is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small needle to release fibrous tissue under the skin, which causes scarring or dimpling. By breaking up these tight bands, the skin is able to lift, resulting in a smoother, more even surface. The treatment is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort, and typically takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete. As the body heals, collagen production is stimulated, which improves skin texture and firmness over time. Multiple sessions may be necessary, especially for more severe scars or cellulite, to achieve the desired results.
